herself the story in the u.s. embassy in yemen as the wave of pure is friends across the muslim world in response to u.s. made film which mocks islamic. plots toes and tear gas are exchanged between protesters and police in cairo as a nothing on t.v. was demonstration descends into scenes of violence and we're bringing live pictures for you from cairo. does not screw family condemns all the time so you as a diplomat and some experts say these kind of acts were inevitable because of washington's controversial policies in the region.
9:01 am
this is our see coming to live from moscow hello and welcome to the program protesters have a tongue as the u.s. embassy in the capital of yemen are clashing with police who opened fire to despise the mob one person was reportedly killed and several wounded in the clashes is the latest u.s. diplomatic mission to come under attack in response to an american film poking fun at islam that has the latest. turmoil in the arab world spread to yemen on thursday after hundreds possibly even thousands of protesters stormed the u.s. embassy in the capital there just two days after the american ambassador to libya was killed and protesters tried to take the embassy and cairo now when it comes to to yemen witnesses on the ground reported live ammunition being shot by security forces into the air one reporter i spoke to actually said that there was an injury someone was injured in the head by one of those rounds falling from the air
9:02 am
security forces also used tear gas and water cannons according to eyewitness reports we also heard that protesters were able to breach one of the outer perimeter of the american embassy there setting fires to vehicles before the setting fire to one building and also tearing down according to eyewitness reports a u.s. flag and replacing it with another flag there while it does seem that the situation has been more or less in control so far it really is an unstable sort of environment and we do know that aside from this controversial video which really sparked the protests drone strikes in that country have really pitted the people versus u.s. foreign policy interests in yemen besides yemen we've seen protests erupt in in the gaza where protesters burned an american flag more or less peaceful protests in iran as well as protests in iraq on the topic of iraq we also had the leader of one of the leaders of an iraqi militia there saying that american interests in that country are. in danger or on the counter of the film we've also
9:03 am
seen a very popular in. posters twitter account of call for protesters to gather on thursday evening side of the american embassy there so it remains to be seen how that situation will play out and of course the one to really watch is going to be afghanistan and we know that you tube has tried to block access to that video in afghanistan as well as in libya and egypt but if people really do catch on to this we could see some unprecedented levels of. islands this is according to some of the people some of the reporters that i've spoken to on the ground in kabul libyan situation is a little bit different from the other countries where we've seen where of course the libyan protesters or the libyan people who are against the government of moammar gadhafi had really welcomed us intervention called western intervention to help them overthrow the former leader there but the situation in libya is really escalating in the sense that the u.s. president has promised to send a team of marines to the ground the security situation there we've also heard that
9:04 am
u.s. war destroyers are unable we're just going to be sent to that area supposedly to help with potential humanitarian assistance and evacuations of those of course remains to be seen how that will work out and also reports of unmanned surveillance drones potentially being deployed according to president obama in libya to help them supposedly hunt down the people responsible for these attacks although it's really quite unclear how that's going to play out. and schools are going to stay up to date on the latest from across the muslim world by our correspondent lucy confidence on tweets. meanwhile in cairo with the finest protests in this series of anti american riots flared up demonstrations have evolved into fierce clashes with security forces police are trying to drive protesters away from the u.s. embassy with bottles and tear gas but continued to me strong resistance and a local journalist who's obvious scene reports now from the capital for. people are
9:05 am
extremely angry that the demographic of the group seems to have changed slightly from cheese day which was a very sort of conservative islamist group and this seems to be younger possibly football fans the football fans but it's not yet confirmed the police have cordoned off the whole area the whole street near the u.s. embassy sections towards to here and it basically just trying to secure the area and attacking protesters would like to take us to me i mean i don't think this protest is any has any signs of actually stopping we know we've got different protests organized on friday and she called for by the muslim brotherhood against this particular film which seems to have inflamed people in the middle east and other moment i can't really see any signs of stopping because now people are upset with the way the police have dealt with the matter because of the levels of violence there has been a fair amount of criticism of morsi recently because he actually didn't make any official statements about the deaths of the u.s. ambassador in libya yesterday and was very slow on the uptake in regards to that people are asking him really to come home and maybe the situation here as the
9:06 am
violence escalates so far he really hasn't gotten that much i've been asking people for to peacefully protest the continuing along with his jobs and the u.s. government had no took no part in the making of this film this obscure film which people take days to work out where it's really come from i'm not even sure that an apology from the u.s. government might people are asking for would really stop the protest right now because it seems to escalate into a police versus protest fight some people if they're angry with the way the police is still using the same tactics when the minute you were in power as they are now with the supposedly civilian government really i'm not really sure how this is going to come down particularly with continued protests in yemen as well as across the middle east towards this film. and let's discuss the developments shaking the middle east and cairo in particular was done glazebrook an independent political analyst in oxford u.k. welcome to the program so witnesses say police toxics are similar to ones used by
9:07 am
the on the jury in the revolution crime down why are we saying such a strong response from the source is this time around. what egypt is still a state make no doubt about it i mean i think what we've seen since the arab spring has been wild. of egypt and that the domestic outrage as a repression has been maintained intact still a very repressive state but the leadership has been decapitated to one that is more amenable to actually facilitating a western eyes he's honest agenda in the region so for example. and more specifically time tawi the head of star of the army who was recently so i. had some issues with facilitating a kind of imperial gender for the region and specifically with facilitating the domestic economic agenda that the western powers have put egypt so they've replaced these leaders now these views have been replaced with a a reformist type of islam ism as in turkey that is amenable to neo liberalism
9:08 am
selling off of state assets passing of public property into private hands and so on and is willing to subordinate its foreign policy to imperial interests the new type of leadership but the same repressive domestic operator is still in place. clear as best guess clearly an unraveling now still how the president and while clashes in cairo continue the country's present president morsi amin is nowhere to be seen and he's in brussels to drum up business do you think he has his priorities straight oh do they clash is not required his. yeah exactly you're right it is about his priorities isn't it and he's clearly prioritizing at the moment his relationship with europe and his relationship with the west. the policies and the priorities of the western powers match those of more of the leadership of the muslim brotherhood like i say on the economic front they are completely in tandem
9:09 am
the you have this project called the european neighborhood policy since two thousand and four most sixteen of the neighbors are basically to be incorporated into a kind of nafta style arrangement nafta is the free trade area between us and mexico which mexico's basically sacrifices economic sovereignty to is more powerful northern neighbor is no longer able to provide subsidies to the poor or to tax imports etc all of this has been lost and the e.u. is trying to impose this type of policy on its neighbors now back to a certain extent went along with this but to a certain kind of dragged his feet over it he wanted to maintain the subsidies the ten billion dollars worth of subsidies food and fuel subsidies to egypt's poor at the moment the muslim brotherhood of pledge to do away with this so they're going to need a very strong and repressive police state to deal with the unrest and unhappy that
9:10 am
is going to cause. and so as i said time time we was particularly opposed to this kind of privatization agenda as well and actually between october and december it's interesting if you look at the progress report by the e.u. on how egypt was moving towards privatization they were very harsh about the measures egypt would have taken and actually last year the end of last year when egypt was still under the rule of tonto and the army they've actually increased some taxes on foreign imports so that's really was really bad news for the e.u. and interesting the progress report what they were most indignant about. you were was actually that egypt had done this without a console prior consultation with the e.u. in other words without asking the permission of a white man was the most heinous crime a country the global south commit it seems that they're really pushing ahead with this this is what morsi is desperately trying to do they've announced today that they will be moving ahead with what. has been described a deep and comprehensive free trade area and that with the calculus crisis in
9:11 am
europe still ongoing this is really become more urgent now use tried to push these problems on to greece and italy as own we can more vulnerable members now is trying to push the burden more onto its neighbors and that's what this free trade area is all about and more seems to be completely capitulated to this agenda and he is rolling ahead with the as we speak yes dan let's talk for a moment about the latest events in libya as well as you as has lost confidence in local security officials to protect its diplomats and what action could washington take to ensure the safety of its overseas starts. well i mean it's it's ironic isn't it you know there's been talk that actually maybe the u.s. ambassador was killed by smoking as a result recently stated but actually was somehow caught in a supposedly safe pass away from the embassy but you know it was actually the british was never supplied all the communications equipment and radar equipment and so on so be surprised it is going to be very difficult for them the main security
9:12 am
you know. you know this is chickens coming home to roost that's what's going on is going to be difficult because they provided the most up to date technology and equipment to the guys who are now killing so it's going to be difficult there's no two ways about it. downplays work and independent political analyst dan thanks for your time. thank you. on the killing of the u.s. ambassador in libya received of international condemnation russia's foreign ministry described the assault on the diplomats as a terrorist attack which cannot be justified under any circumstances but there are those in russia who say this deadly reaction to balls to go outside could have been predicted and has irina. russia definitely has already issued in one way or another in its response to the attacks in libya and egypt saying that such attacks can and should that such attacks are strongly condemned and they have expressed their condolences to the united states however there is
9:13 am
a belief in russia this all is basically a result of the u.s. foreign policy in which i like asian they do make dalliances with the terrorist organizations for example in his in his exclusive interview to r.t. russian president vladimir putin did mention that what is what is happening right now in the middle east with the united states actually goes all the way back to the war in afghanistan was not to you know when someone aspires to attain and they see is optimal any means will do as a rule we do it by hook or by crook and hardly ever think of the consequences that was the case during the war in afghanistan when the soviet union invaded in one nine hundred seventy nine that time our present partners supported a rebel movement and basically gave rise to al-qaeda which later backfired on the united states itself today someone could use militants from al qaeda or some other organizations with equally radical views to accomplish their goals in syria russia
9:14 am
was criticized by a lot of the countries particularly by the united states for not supporting the rebels in the libyan conflict russia in turn has has insisted on the fact that the rebels how they have themselves been supported among others why al-qaeda fighters they have russia repeatedly has called on western powers to be careful with toppling with participating in toppling of various regimes for example someone such in libya or in egypt because they said if we do not know we cannot promise that what will come out as a result will be a democratic list intact russia has said that we have made most certainly be dealing with kids and anarchy and wish a lot more of a lot more lives will be lost and unfortunately. does that russia's gloomiest predictions may in fact be playing out right now in the middle east and northern africa. and we're closely monitoring the violent. by the on to islamic and american fell on that you'll find updates on the dust
9:15 am
ratios and international reaction to the violence along with the latest medias from where they protest. there's outrage in a stone e a remote advertisement showing a may say to prisoners at a concentration camp they will not be seen that published it says the ad is just a joke but as an exchange. the country has a record of ever elevating its past. bronc which went terribly wrong in a story a newspaper asked to express posted a picture of prisoners of a nazi death camp book involved with a text one two three dr mengele spills will do wonders for you there were no fat men in book involve this reference to a man who was responsible for more than forty thousand deaths in nine hundred forty s. nazi death camps certainly has caused uproar both in the stone here and abroad with the local jewish community and simon wiesenthal center both accusing the newspaper
9:16 am
office of making a joke out of a huge tragedy and the massive loss of human lives the newspaper itself tried to justify this picture by saying that this was simply a joke in response to an earlier incident when a gas heating company in a studio posted a picture of the entrance to another nazi death camp with an advertisement of the heating system saying that their heating systems were reliable and very efficient many experts and political analysts have been very critical of the fact that such things happen in a more than democratic state a member of the european union and this prank. by the newspaper and the advertisement by the gas company forced the country's foreign minister to bring his apologies for those incidents he said that he felt very ashamed to be a stony and b. if his country's newspapers allow themselves such jokes with the use of the human
9:17 am
tragedy so many have been questioning how sincere those apologies were because a story has a record of dealing with the events of the past particularly with nazis and in its very own sinister way several of the veterans who were fighting alongside the nazi troops in the 1940's in the so-called baltic legion were made national heroes in the story after the collapse of the soviet union so this latest incident certainly adds more fuel to the fire in this ongoing story of how the baltic states have been dealing with naziism and have been dealing with the perception of the past. and home right now for you news from around the world and beyond like ready to roll on the right plan at the curiosity rover is being revved up for the next stage of its hunt for traces of life in mars. that's being called beyond down to
9:18 am
earth learn how some unlucky photographers are being labeled potential terrorists just for trying to do that. was in the netherlands have elected to continue on a ploy a european possibly hold list sticking to a german led way out of the financial crisis the conservatives claim victory but may have to form a coalition with labor which holds similar economic however despite rejecting ponchos calling for an exit from the euro zone i was think of some austerity measures looks inevitable as to saucy never pull. the european crisis has affected the campaign period it really brought out a lot of voter sentiments that were unexpected when it comes to the dutch dutch people who are generally very pro european though we've seen in the past weeks before the final week of campaigning that socialists had made a huge jump at some point even leading the front of the liberals and of the labor party however having said that a lot of observers do the fact that the dutch again are very practical people and
9:19 am
have traditionally been centrist voters and they did vote that center left and center right parties the labor and the liberal party of the ruling the prime minister margaret are having said that though the fact that the campaign has brought out a lot of voter sentiment that didn't exist before having centrist government right now does not mean that those questions on whether they should keep helping the greeks for example or whether we should continue the way it has been in a draconian fashion following the german lead the plan for europe those questions will not just go away given even if they still have a centrist government right now so i think what will happen here is the most logical is that the labor and liberal which is a top two and biggest parties here will my former coalition in this sense it's it's only a practical however the question is there are differences in their approach to europe should they give more money to greece or should they follow the three percent of cuts drastic draconian fashion these points that will definitely have disagreements
9:20 am
and stability there is questionable and therefore the dutch may find it a coalition government formed quite quickly but whether it will last longer than the previous government well that is still an open question. under more of the world's main news for you this hour the un's new envoy to syria is now in damascus hilmi to president assad and his fast peace mission to the country brahimi hopes to make inroads in ending the conflict but it's a task he's already conceded as being almost impossible violence is growing in syria's largest city aleppo with the latest battle erupting near the city's international airport which is still held by pro assad forces. gunmen in southern pakistan have shut down seven road construction workers who are employed by the government no one's yet admitted the killings pakistan's southern baluchistan province is plagued by militants and separatists with regular anti government or times in a bid for autonomy and a larger share of natural resources. and israel's prime minister is vowing to keep
9:21 am
pushing for the u.s. to get tougher on iran and its nuclear program many a million a tiny yahoo wants america to set have defining boundaries for a possible strike on terror on but washington's refusing saying more time is needed for diplomacy and sanctions to work as an on going global impasse over iran's atomic program despite repeated denials that is building a bomb and next hour political scientists not so. explains why an israeli strike would only spur iran's radical elements. that israeli. are doing that basically for putting pressure on international community and particularly in america in a presidential election they want to get more they want to make america back serbia rate which is no enrichment or desire to enrich one on iraq but in case they decide to attack to me they will not achieve their objectives they're not they don't have
9:22 am
the capability to attack iran at most they can attack by missiles and maclean's few places which do would not see iran not to pursue its nuclear program that the radical of the wrong radicals in terms of. nuclear program those who are all doing for nuclear weapons sure the oil is basically. to me. strengthen the hands of the radicals who ones that are. the russian punk band pussy riot could be freed sooner than expected prime minister dmitry medvedev says their prison sentences out to normal and that more time behind bars would be unproductive the group's protest stance on russia's main cathedral this year divided russia as did the two year jail term hunted down. as a story. even mediated was being quite frank what he. that's what makes him sick
9:23 am
and so do the hysteria and noise around this case over the prime minister did say that any jail sentence is already a tough punishment and perhaps any more time for pushing right behind bars may not be effective. but. the fact that these young women had been in custody for quite some time is by itself regardless of the verdict already a very serious punishment for what they've done that's regardless of the position we are taking staying in prison is retribution in itself under very strict months regarding the content of this act i don't want to be a judge is substitute but in my opinion the punishment they've already suffered and the time they spent in custody is more than enough for them to think about what's happened to their lives whether it's because of their stupidity or because of some of the reasons. why were arrested shortly after there's so. many calls and then she clinton particularly seems very right inside place for c.b.s.
9:24 am
the future of this calls for the future we of criticism from hospitals questions across the whole country. where is the city's going to go through the of waste and in august three members of pussy riot were sentenced to two years behind bars after having been found guilty of based on religious hatred but now the prime minister's words come right out of the city court just ready to start reviewing their appeal that's going to happen on the first of october so we'll still definitely be hearing more about the right. and time now the shank in the at the business desk where casey awaits hello there so in recent months casey it's all been about spain's high boring cost but this time they're going down yet makes a change. really as a result of those boring costs going down the prime minister of spain is now saying that there's no urgency to seek a bailout and it's. not really
9:25 am
a foregone conclusion he said is going to keep an eye on the figures this week now that announcement follows europe's unprecedented move to buy debt of troubled nations to boost growth now we spoke to financial expert patrick young he believes it's not the solution and the only mosques the real economic problems. what we're doing at the moment is essentially we've got someone who runs a pizza store and they realize that their pictures are actually not very good and nobody wants to eat it so therefore what they're going to do is they're going to buy all of their pizza and pay for their friends to all sit in the restaurant and therefore they'll create the idea that there's a wonderfully good restaurant and round but everybody will know that it's rotten runs of pizza and actually the owners buying it back from it so this whole concept of trying to throw money at a structural problem when everybody is in denial about what you do is can only end with a really really ugly scenario. ok so peter is definitely off the menu that if we
9:26 am
look at the european markets you'll be able to see they are looking at flat still although in germany it is more of the last week or third of a percent now investors right now they're keeping their positions close not because they gearing up for the federal reserve decision on the stimulus measures that the end of the room we and as a result i can also tell you that u.s. stock futures are tracking at the losses that we had in asia as well as today meeting so all eyes are focused on that we have the only thing is for the u.s. market is in the next a bulletin was up in about maybe five minutes time now so that's where investors are really as i say concentrating as for the common currency it really remains that pretty much now one of the big news events this week was germany is a top constitutional court rejected efforts to block a permanent euro area rescue fund that was seen as a bit of a victory to chancellor angola merkel as you can see there is one twenty nine on the bus as. the rossoneri but still managing to gain in the session the equity
9:27 am
markets they too are not having a much action and as you can see that my six zero nobody is around half a percent in exit territory really awaiting the international markets to see what is going to happen there we're going to talk about yandex as well because it's working on its own browser to compete with google's growing presence in russia the new software has a built in search bar by our days and could be released as soon as october they gather its hopes a new browser will help promote is a wide range of services i think google a run for it is monday all right you know sex hour as i mentioned it's all about the u.s. i have the everything goes for wall street now absolutely thank you very much indeed for that casey we'll see you next hour and shortly we'll talk to an irish while the u.s. accused of spying for russia. download
